The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Extinct or Alive is an American wildlife documentary television programme produced for Animal Planet by Hot Snakes Media of New York City, the United States. It is hosted by wildlife biologist and television personality Forrest Galante, who travels to different locations around the globe to learn about possibly extinct animals and whether or not there is a chance that they may still be extant. The series has claimed to have been involved in the rediscoveries of the Fernandina Island Galápagos tortoise and Rio Apaporis caiman, along with the possible rediscoveries of the Zanzibar leopard and Cape lion (or a direct descendant of the Cape lion). Additionally, the series recorded the first ever footage of Miller's langur. However, aside from the Miller's Langur, much of this is still debated by scientists, and there is yet to be any evidence that Forrest Galante or any of the group actually found these animals first, aside from a few sharks which were already known to not be extinct.
